1966–1993 Dodge Charger / Dakota / Ramcharger Gen III Hemi Engines

97-347

Overview:

The Holley Gen III Hemi Alternator Relocation Bracket is engineered to solve a common clearance issue encountered during Gen III Hemi engine swaps in classic Dodge vehicles. Specifically designed for Dodge Charger (1966–1972), Dodge Dakota (1987–2004), and Dodge Ramcharger (1974–1993) models, this bracket repositions the factory alternator upward and outward. This adjustment provides the necessary clearance between the alternator and the vehicle’s frame, particularly on the passenger side where interference often occurs with the factory "car style" accessory drive system.

Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders performing Gen III Hemi swaps, this bracket allows the reuse of the factory Mopar alternator while ensuring a clean, interference-free installation. Whether your engine features Variable Valve Timing (VVT) or a non-VVT setup, this bracket accommodates both configurations, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of Gen III Hemi applications.

Key Features:

Designed with precision and durability in mind, the Holley alternator bracket offers several key benefits:

• Repositions the alternator upward and outward to provide extra clearance on the passenger side frame
• Compatible with both VVT and non-VVT Gen III Hemi engines using the factory "car style" accessory drive system
• Allows reuse of the factory Mopar alternator, reducing the need for aftermarket alternators
• Black powder-coated finish for superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting appearance
• Constructed from heavy-duty steel for strength and resistance to flex under engine vibration
• Provides critical clearance for 1972–1993 Dodge D100/D150 Gen III Hemi swaps
• Includes all necessary hardware for straightforward installation

Construction & Design

Crafted from robust steel, the Holley alternator relocation bracket is built to withstand the rigors of high-performance engine swaps. The steel construction ensures rigidity and prevents flexing that could compromise alternator alignment or belt tension. The bracket’s black powder-coated finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also provides a sleek, durable surface that complements the engine bay’s aesthetics.

The design carefully considers the spatial constraints of classic Dodge frames and the unique layout of the Gen III Hemi accessory drive system. By relocating the alternator upward and outward, the bracket eliminates interference with the frame without requiring extensive modifications or custom fabrication.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto Gen III Hemi engines equipped with the factory "car style" accessory drive system. The bracket is compatible with 2005 and newer 5.7L VVT, 2005–2010 6.1L, and 2011 and newer 6.4L engines, ensuring broad application across various Gen III Hemi configurations. This bracket is especially beneficial for engine swaps into 1966–1972 Dodge Chargers, 1987–2004 Dodge Dakotas, and 1974–1993 Dodge Ramchargers, as well as 1972–1993 Dodge D100/D150 trucks.

All necessary mounting hardware is included, enabling a secure and hassle-free installation. The bracket’s design minimizes the need for additional modifications, allowing for a clean, professional fitment that maintains factory accessory drive system integrity.
